Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, Book 4) Buy Now

I've read all of Mead's books - each has such a unique take on life and such strong charaters that they are hard to put down. I'm always grumpy in the days after finishing one of her books, because few other books pull me in as hers do.

I read Blood Promise over about a week, which is rare as usually I devour her books. But something in this one moved a bit slower and more methodically than in her others - probably because she portrayed Rose's grief and mixed emotions so well that unfortunately, I felt the fog and sadness she felt. The book moved slower than her others, but it was every bit as good.

Rose went to find Dimitri, to kill his Strigoi incarnation as she knew he would have wanted. On her way, she ended up staying with Dimitri's family, and was accepted into their lives as his widow. After realizing that however welcoming his family has been, she needs to find Dimitri himself, she takes her courage in her hands and goes off to find him.

When she succeeds, nothing is as she expected, and Rose finds out some new things about Strigoi which lead us nicely into the next book's plot.

If you've read the others, then you don't need me to tell you to pick this one up - it's as good as the others, even if the pacing is a bit different. I can't wait for the next one.Get more detail about Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, Book 4).
